A frightened burglar in Sweden called police on Tuesday after hiding
in the toilets of a pizzeria to escape the wrath of its owner, police
said. An alarm at the restaurant, in the eastern Swedish city of
Uppsala, alerted the owner to the ongoing break-in at around 3:15 am
(0215 GMT).
“I put on a shirt, trousers and shoes and I ran,” the owner, who
lived nearby, told the daily Upsala Nya Tidning. The owner arrived and
began fighting with the burglars. Two escaped, but two others ran back
into the restaurant and tried to barricade the door against the owner.
One of the men eventually locked himself in the bathroom to escape
and called police. “Police rescued the two men aged 18 and 19 from the
owner’s fury and arrested them,” police spokesman Christer Nordstrom
told AFP. According to the owner, this was the third burglary attempt
in two years.
